 * __EVALUATION ON GOOGLE EARTH / VOICETHREAD PROJECT__**




 * What were the good/bad things about the project?**

The bad things were that I had never used voice thread before, so I had to ask for a lot of help from Sam and Tiffany (Thanks Tiff!). And that my microphone kept shorting out and the Voice Thread would freeze and I would have to re-start it (and that happened about 6 times!). The Good things were that our group had Sam, who fortunately knew how to use Voice Thread, and she had a microphone.

D**id you pull your weight or was the project one sided?**

I think I pulled my weight on the project because I worked really hard on it at home and I worked on it really hard at school. Each person in our group did 4 places each, and we did. Sam worked really hard on the project because she place marked all the places on Google Earth and put the videos on the place marks, so she had the hardest job.

**How difficult/easy it was – whether you ran into difficulties and problem solved, needed assistance?**

Wow! We had a HUGE problem. On the last day we had to work on it (Today – 08/05/09), Samantha accidentally deleted all the work she did on the place-marks. We were all completely freaking out because that was basically the most important part. Sam was stressing and so was I. Then Sam had a breakthrough and did it all again in 20 minutes! Originally it had taken Sam 3 periods! That’s basically the only problem we had.


 * How well did you work with your partner(s)?**

Well, I was in a group of 3 with Sarah Heslin and Samantha Jacobsen because there were a odd number of people in the class. We worked really well together and we had no problem figuring out who would do what. We helped each other when they had a mental block, and we taught each other things that the other didn’t know. We were a good team.


 * What made you chose the places and were there any issues regarding choices?**

Well, we chose the places we did because they were significant to us. E.g. I chose Mount Rushmore because it is in America and I’m American. Sam chose Hatfield House, because She likes reading about old places like that. And Sarah chose Diocesan because, well, she goes to Dio. There were quite a few things that we wanted to, but we couldn’t because the signup sheet was too crowded to get through, so we h to take what was left.
